The loss is from $70,000 to 30,00J, mostly covered by insurance. . Two men are missing, supposed to bare been buried under the ruins. Dr. . M. Power waa arrested in St. Louis on Saturday night, on a charge of violating the person of Mrs. Viola Hill, while on a visit to his office in the prosecution of her business as a solioitor of subscriptions to new publications. Mrs. Hill is represented as a highly respectable lady, recently from the South. Buckland, Maaa, Toted to prohibit. the sale of "ale, porter, and larger beer." Dealers sontioued selling lager notwithstanding, and the courts sustained therm deoidiog that lager beer is not "larger." The judge probably thought that the town people ought not to vote the exclusion of an article until they had learned and could spell its name. The Cornwall (Canada) woolen manufactory waa burned early yesterday morning. The building, during the past year, had been most thoroughly stocked with the most improved machinery. The cause of the fire ia unknown. Over two hundred persona are thrown out of employment. The loss is estimated at $300,000, oa which the insurance waa $153,000. On Sunday last a fire occurred at Omaha, in the lumber yard of Hoagland &. Son, and coal yard of T. Clarkaon. Their o Sloes and a considerable amount of lumber was destroyed, and oa removing the remnants of the burning office the body of a German watchman named Christian Bee ting waa found, with his head and limbs burned off. Last Saturday afternoon , at Bruner-town, Johnson oounty, Kentucky, some men and boys filled a hollow anvil with powder and placed another anvil npon it, that the explosion might be loud. When the explosion occurred one piece of the anvil struck a negro, Jack'Lawso, in the breast, killing him instantly. A boy in the party was slightly injured at the same time. Soma of the religious people of Lowell Massachusetts publish an. earnest protest against "secular lectures'' on Sunday evenings. A similar objection would lie against a large proportion of the Sunday preaching, probably; for it mast be s very difficult matter to strip a diconree of all secular allusions or Illustrations, and still retain in it enough of human interest to hold the attention of human listeners. No more bodies have been recovered from the rains of the receutjrreat fire at Richmond, and it is thought the number of victims in the Spotswood disaster is new known. The celebrations fixed for yesterday by the Masonic fraternity and U nights of Pythias were postponed indefinitely on account of the loss to the members of those orders in the Spots-wood House. The Express Company's ales have been recovered. Their contents were found in good condition. Advices from" Panama to the 21st of December have been recsived via Jamaica.

The Hornet, conveying Byan and his companions to Cuba, had not arrived at Aspinwall. A very destructive fire at Boohester, on the night of foe 25th, resulted in the following losses: Pool's building, loss $35,000; isjmrance $2,000.

The Senate Judiciary committee will meet oa ths Saturday preceding the assembling of Congress, to hear arguments oa th Georgia Senatorship.' There are fonr applicants for tbs honor, Messrs. HiU and Miller, elected ia 1365, ajjd they claim that the Legislature which se lected them was legally eonatituted, the negroes aot being expelled until after their election! but th claim is made against Hill aad Miller, that the Legis lature by which they were elected was from th first illegally constituted, the iron-clad oath never having been ad ministered, there being a number of members nnabls to tak it. Mr. Hill, however, claims that in his ease, the votes east for him were all legal, or so nearly so a to leave him still a majority requisite for election. Ia Miller1 elec tion, h received the Democratic vote. This was not ths ease; besides, Miller's disabilities have never been removed For Whitely and Farran, Republicans elect, chosen ia 1869, the claim ia made that they were eieetea oy me eniy legally constituted Legislature under the actol loan. THB riSHXRT QUESTION. The British Minister, nnder instructions from home, has already taken the initiatory steps to settle the embarrassing fishery controversy, and arranging for the settlement of claims that will arise from the aeiznra of American shipping, Sir Edward Thornton has acknowledged the substantial correctness of secretary Fish's position as showa by diplomssio correspondence just published, running from April to .November or tne present vear. relatinr to the fUherv aneation. The Canadian authorities olaim that their refusal to issue licenses to foreign fisher men does aot interfere with American privilege under the treaty of 1313. aad that there are now ao nation embraced in that treaty. Secretary Fish takes oo posit ground, and ia illustration points to was portion oi sue coast formerly knows svi Labrador from A usable to Magdalen Island. He also polnta to discrepancies ia the pesition taken by the Provincial authorities, ons being that the Csnadian line is three miles from shore, while the other assumed that it ia three miles from an imaginary line drawn across the month of ail rivers and .bays. - Sir Edward Thornton concurred ia the general oesTeetness of Secretary Fish's position, ana that will make an adjust men t of all points comparatively an easy task. It is well understood by ths British Minister that th regulations made by the Canadian authorities arc illiberal and ill-advised, and the manner of their execution shows aa unfriendly spirit. ' ths sumncs qiuirr QtjAJtasX. . The Tribunii correspondent telegraphs that those Senators who decided, after the speech of Senator Sumner oa the Saa Domisro resolutions and debate which followed it, to attempt to remove the Massachusetts Senator from the Chairmanship of the Committee of Foreign Relations, have nearly all corns to the conclusion to abandon the undertaking; first, because it is impracticable of accomplishment ; and second, they are atianed that Mr. bumner l tne most capable man in the Senate for the poai tion. Hereafter the majority can so arrange matter as to bring treaties -aad other like subjects before the legislative session, and thus prevent them, or such of theia aa Mr. Samner opposes, from going to the Foreign Committee. Many of the most radical Administration Sena tor are satisfied from word of Mr. Sumner, which have been repeated to them, that he ia not opposed to the gen eral foreign policy or the F resident, ana that he has said much in the excitement of the debet which he did not intend to say, and which he regrets. He does not express any animosity against the President, and will give all administration measures a fair and cordial support. GLIM PS B OF GUNPOWDER. Mr. Moran. Secretary of the legation at London, has been directed by the State DeDartment to teleirreoh Imme diately the maritime strength of Great Britian at ths present time, and espec ially the ' increase to her shipping during the past fonr years, aa the special message of the President to Congress, on the subject ol building up our merchant marine service, gives occasion both for information and haste in obtaining it. MINISTKB 6CIIENCK- Tho Department of State has not yet prepared Minister Schenck's instructions on the Alabama claims, nor will they un til Mr. schenck returns to Washington.

RITUALISM Xiw Yosk, December 37, ls7x There is good authority for saying that Biahop Potter has decided to prohibit the elaborate colored and embroidered vestments now used in religions services at St. Albany and in one or two other Episcopal churches in this city. The last general convention of ths Protestant Episcopal Churoh, which met in this city iu 1S63, took no definite aotioa on the subject 6f ritualism, but referred it to a special oommittee, who are expected to report at the next general convention in 1871. Meanwhile each Bishop is anthoriz&d, in doubtful cases, to decide what shall be practiced within bis own diocesa. This aation of Bishop Potter is likely to bring the ritualistic question to a focus, as there can be no appeal for the present, at least from his decision, and clergymen refusing to conform to it will make themselves liable to Episcopal oe nsure or de position from the ministry. NAVAL. The frigate Tennessee, now fittinz out at the naval yard to carry commissioners to San Domingo, has her crew now made up, and she will go into commission ready to receive her passengers by January 10th.

Among those present in the faro room were several prominent citixena. But one man can give an intelligent account, thongh in the same room, and he did not hear the discharge ot a pistol that Meyers had, and did not know of the man having been struck with a alung shot. Ths boy states that before the occurrence Tom MoGehen, James McGehen, Jack Garvey, Dan Modern and Charles Shelby passed through the saloon below, going np stairs. On this statement warrants were sworn ont against them, bnt they gave themselves np before service. Tom McGehen is suspected on account of being concerned in the Meyer affray a few daya ago.

Ceaasnaaieatlea Ceaeeralag a Cer-lala BakMcrialiea. OlLt's Cab Works, Colombo, Dae. ST, 1370. To th. Editor of th. Ohio S tatesman i - In your issue of Saturday, the 24th inst , some one desires information con cerning the dispoeal of certain funda col. lected at these works for the relief of Mrs. Henry Fry, widow of Henry Fry, deceased, formerly an attache of these works. In. reply I would aay that the subscription was started on the 21st day of October, 1870, and taken through the shop in whioh Fry was formerly employed, and the men ia thia ahop pretty generally aubacribed the value of a day'a work. Going from thia to the next shop, the person who was taking the subscription (paper around asked au uncle of the deceased what amonnt he woold give, and received the reply that "she (the widow) waa not needy, and if she were, her relatives were able and willinx to care for her." This, coming from a relative,' caused us to drop the subscription at once, and to conclude not to prosecute it any farther until we had ascertained beyond a donbt that she was really deserving. Of thia we satisfied ourselves, but it made it necessary to let-it lay over for one month, as we pay bat once a month. The next time the paper waa taken aronnd was on the 21st of November, just one month after, bnt the influence exerted by thu unolt caused the subscriptions to grow very small, a great many men refusing to subscribe altogether, and instead of there being ons hundred and twenty subscribers, as your communication states, there are but sev enty one on the list, their subscriptions ranging from 25 cents to $4 each, but one man. the foreman oi tne anop in wnicn the deceased had worked, subscribing 14. twenty-four subscribed $1.00, twenty-four subscribed 50 cents, and ten men aubacribed ilo cents each, max log a total ot voj.ou. Bui wnne tnis aubscribtion was laying over from the 21st of October to the 21st of November, a number of men who had subscribed were discharged and their subscriptions could not be collected, aa none of the others had at that time been collected, and in this, a falling on from the total footing of the list amounting to $5.75 was caused, which deduction from $63 00 leaves $57.75 the actual amount col lected ; the balance, making the whole amonnt paid her $60.00, waa made np by the undersigned, for which I hold Mrs. Fry's individual receipt, and the bank check, made payable to her order for the fall amount ($60.00), was cashed at the First National Bank of this city. We were at that time employing about two hundred and twenty-five men, and it was, to draw it mildly, quite a task to deduct the subscriptions from the amonnt coming to the men who bad subscribed, so many objecting, and after going to all this trouble, to be censured as 1 have been is not very agreeable. Any further information will be cheer fully rendered at the office. . UIU. iJLADI BROAD STREET BRIDGE. Bepert mt the Exaaalaiaa Ceasasitte. mm the Caarfiliaa mt the Bread Mtreet Bridge. Columbus, Ohio, December 37, ls70. Col. Jouji A. Blaib, Engineer national Koaa : As requested by you, we have made an examination of the National road bridge, crossing the Scioto river at this place, and fiud its condition in all respects quite aa good as we had reason to expect. It was built of the best quality of lumber and well put together. We examined the p rts most exposed to decay, and fonnd them all perfectly sound and free from rot or decomposition of any kind. It is to be expected, however, that the timber has lost some of its original strength and elasticity. In the thirty- five years during which it has, occupied its present position, every part of the structure has settled down to a firm bearing, and can probably go no farther until some of the timbers give way. The bottom chords of the bridge are composed (three in number) of four pieces, each of yellow pine 44 by 12 inches, secured to lattice work. Oue of these pieces in the South chord of the east span is broken, also one piece in the middle chord. Both seem to have been broken for some time. this defect may be remedied and render those points aa strong as the other parts, by pntting ad- uitionai pieces iu me, cnora properly secured : and we would advise that each of the cbords in both spans of the bridge be strengthened in the middle by such additional timber about sixty-five feet in length. This being properly done, we see no reason why the bridge will not be as safe for nse as it has been for the last five years. vary retpactruiiy, S. Meubbit. - - Gso. H. Yaoox. " rilB Dl.KCE OF BLOOD " From th. Boston Post ) The Morton resolution passed the Sen ate at last, bat it has torn through the party framework - damagingly. For onr own part, we have from the first ad vocated either the outright purchase or perpetual lease of the Bay of Samana, as a necessary naval station in West Indian waters ; bnt the reprehensible and extra ordinary coarse adopted by President Grant to secure San Domingo, throuch the manipulations of an- agent unknown to the Executive prerogative, and by methods that are covered all over with suspicions stains, we have never hesitated to condemn as roundly a it deserves. Thwarted in this first attempt to accomplish bis end, the President baa cooked np this Commission, whoso character and objects, as has been developed, Mr. Samner has so Unhesitatingly ex posed. The debate over iti passage was a disgrace to the body in which it occurred. It reveals a state ot things in the governing party that will startle the country. The vindictive jealonsy of Sumner drives at the President, and as sails Morton for having dared to be closeted with him in the Executive mansion. Yet it comes out that this same lof iy Aria- tides, whose affectation or political parity is so ostentations, has himself proposed to the President to log-roll with him over Impeachment Ashley, and that be ia now only taking hia revenge for the President's refusal. Morton flies at Sumner's throat as the President's friend. and gratuitously insult the memory of deeeased patriots who tilled the Executive chair in defense of hia master. We challenge the comparison he provokes. Grant by the side of Pierce or Bacbanan as President, measures pitifully, small, whatever the standard need. Ths whole disclosure is an outrage on publio sentiment. Such a Senate I Snob an Administration ! ' A President with a cordon of military offioers around him threatening the personal chastisement of a Senator ins aid-de-camp (an omocr unknown to his constitutional office) re peating the violent langnage of hia chief ami save in nis talent ior vmaictive-ness pledging himself to foreign parties to influence the votes of Senators lobbying on ths floor of Congress maintaining military state in the Executive mansion think of the sycophantio phari- saism, like Morton's, that compares suoh an Individual with ths able, upright, experienced and dignified statemen who have ailed that omce before him! jn either a President like Grant, nor a Senator like Samner, ia capable of leading thia country and guiding its great fortunes. Arrogance and" egotism are equally balanoed by dnll ignorance and atudioua hatred. Sumner's inspiration is slavery and tbe slave trade ; Grant's strength is presents and punishment. The quarrel between two such men, each assuming to be at the head of the Government, has now broken out in its fall violence ; and It discovers such a mine of jealousy, corruption, arrogance, selfishness, littleness, and all kindred qualities, that th country may well stand appalled at the revelation. Tbe scene in the Senate make on tremble for the fate oi hia country, when it affaire are, at a critical transition period, ia auch inefficient, incapable and dangerous hands. No political party oould long cohere that ia the sport of elements ao antagonistic, malicious, selfish, and unre strained by any senae of responsibility : and no Republican Government could long exist nnder the infliction of such a party 'a reckless domination. Tbere is now a continuous line of railroad in operation from Norfolk to Bristol, Va , and thence, via Knoxville, connecting with the Sonthern and Tennessee system of roads. Tbs Tirgini Legislature consolidated this' lino with that which proposed to connect, via Cumberland Gap, with the Kentucky roada the whole to be known as the Atlantic, Mississippi, and Ohio Railroad Company. The low grades of this line and the prospect of a very early completion of the remaining portion, have awakened great expectation of a rich tide of commerce from the great West to the cities of Petersburg and Norfolk. - There has been Y 'J"' .."t3";Ls """T much anxiety that Kichmond should par- aoeordingly a bill has just been paased in the Virginia Legislature authorizing a direct connection with the main road. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad is expected te begin operation from Richmond to Guyandotte about the lat of July, 1872, and in less than two years from to-day Virginia, like New York, will have two great trunk lines connecting her ports with the Mississippi Valley. Prop. Smith, who recently contributed a valuable paper to tbe Baltimore Sun on the treatment of hydrophobia, wrote a letter to the sam journal a few daya ago, in which he declares himself out of patience with those who are superstitions enoogh to believe that there ia any virtue whatever in the mad-dog stone possessed by a resident of Reotortown, Fauquier county, Va. "Thia atone," aaya the Profeseer, "ia probably of a elate or chalky nature, and porous. When dry, it will adhere to a moist part, aa auch a substance willJo the tongue, and fall off when saturated with moisture. That it baa an affinity for tbe poison of ths rabid animal is too ridiculous to merit aerioua discussion. The evil resulting from belief in remedies so absurd is that it prevents the use of efficient means."

The loss is from $70,000 to 30,00J, mostly covered by insurance. . Two men are missing, supposed to bare been buried under the ruins. Dr. . M. Power waa arrested in St. Louis on Saturday night, on a charge of violating the person of Mrs. Viola Hill, while on a visit to his office in the prosecution of her business as a solioitor of subscriptions to new publications. Mrs. Hill is represented as a highly respectable lady, recently from the South. Buckland, Maaa, Toted to prohibit. the sale of "ale, porter, and larger beer." Dealers sontioued selling lager notwithstanding, and the courts sustained therm deoidiog that lager beer is not "larger." The judge probably thought that the town people ought not to vote the exclusion of an article until they had learned and could spell its name. The Cornwall (Canada) woolen manufactory waa burned early yesterday morning. The building, during the past year, had been most thoroughly stocked with the most improved machinery. The cause of the fire ia unknown. Over two hundred persona are thrown out of employment. The loss is estimated at $300,000, oa which the insurance waa $153,000.

Last Saturday afternoon , at Bruner-town, Johnson oounty, Kentucky, some men and boys filled a hollow anvil with powder and placed another anvil npon it, that the explosion might be loud. When the explosion occurred one piece of the anvil struck a negro, Jack'Lawso, in the breast, killing him instantly. A boy in the party was slightly injured at the same time. Soma of the religious people of Lowell Massachusetts publish an. earnest protest against "secular lectures'' on Sunday evenings. A similar objection would lie against a large proportion of the Sunday preaching, probably; for it mast be s very difficult matter to strip a diconree of all secular allusions or Illustrations, and still retain in it enough of human interest to hold the attention of human listeners. No more bodies have been recovered from the rains of the receutjrreat fire at Richmond, and it is thought the number of victims in the Spotswood disaster is new known. The celebrations fixed for yesterday by the Masonic fraternity and U nights of Pythias were postponed indefinitely on account of the loss to the members of those orders in the Spots-wood House. The Express Company's ales have been recovered. Their contents were found in good condition. Advices from" Panama to the 21st of December have been recsived via Jamaica.

The Senate Judiciary committee will meet oa ths Saturday preceding the assembling of Congress, to hear arguments oa th Georgia Senatorship.' There are fonr applicants for tbs honor, Messrs. HiU and Miller, elected ia 1365, ajjd they claim that the Legislature which se lected them was legally eonatituted, the negroes aot being expelled until after their election! but th claim is made against Hill aad Miller, that the Legis lature by which they were elected was from th first illegally constituted, the iron-clad oath never having been ad ministered, there being a number of members nnabls to tak it. Mr. Hill, however, claims that in his ease, the votes east for him were all legal, or so nearly so a to leave him still a majority requisite for election. Ia Miller1 elec tion, h received the Democratic vote.

THB riSHXRT QUESTION. The British Minister, nnder instructions from home, has already taken the initiatory steps to settle the embarrassing fishery controversy, and arranging for the settlement of claims that will arise from the aeiznra of American shipping, Sir Edward Thornton has acknowledged the substantial correctness of secretary Fish's position as showa by diplomssio correspondence just published, running from April to .November or tne present vear. relatinr to the fUherv aneation. The Canadian authorities olaim that their refusal to issue licenses to foreign fisher men does aot interfere with American privilege under the treaty of 1313. aad that there are now ao nation embraced in that treaty. Secretary Fish takes oo posit ground, and ia illustration points to was portion oi sue coast formerly knows svi Labrador from A usable to Magdalen Island. He also polnta to discrepancies ia the pesition taken by the Provincial authorities, ons being that the Csnadian line is three miles from shore, while the other assumed that it ia three miles from an imaginary line drawn across the month of ail rivers and .bays. - Sir Edward Thornton concurred ia the general oesTeetness of Secretary Fish's position, ana that will make an adjust men t of all points comparatively an easy task. It is well understood by ths British Minister that th regulations made by the Canadian authorities arc illiberal and ill-advised, and the manner of their execution shows aa unfriendly spirit. ' ths sumncs qiuirr QtjAJtasX. . The Tribunii correspondent telegraphs that those Senators who decided, after the speech of Senator Sumner oa the Saa Domisro resolutions and debate which followed it, to attempt to remove the Massachusetts Senator from the Chairmanship of the Committee of Foreign Relations, have nearly all corns to the conclusion to abandon the undertaking; first, because it is impracticable of accomplishment ; and second, they are atianed that Mr. bumner l tne most capable man in the Senate for the poai tion. Hereafter the majority can so arrange matter as to bring treaties -aad other like subjects before the legislative session, and thus prevent them, or such of theia aa Mr. Samner opposes, from going to the Foreign Committee. Many of the most radical Administration Sena tor are satisfied from word of Mr. Sumner, which have been repeated to them, that he ia not opposed to the gen eral foreign policy or the F resident, ana that he has said much in the excitement of the debet which he did not intend to say, and which he regrets. He does not express any animosity against the President, and will give all administration measures a fair and cordial support. GLIM PS B OF GUNPOWDER. Mr. Moran.

RITUALISM Xiw Yosk, December 37, ls7x There is good authority for saying that Biahop Potter has decided to prohibit the elaborate colored and embroidered vestments now used in religions services at St. Albany and in one or two other Episcopal churches in this city. The last general convention of ths Protestant Episcopal Churoh, which met in this city iu 1S63, took no definite aotioa on the subject 6f ritualism, but referred it to a special oommittee, who are expected to report at the next general convention in 1871. Meanwhile each Bishop is anthoriz&d, in doubtful cases, to decide what shall be practiced within bis own diocesa. This aation of Bishop Potter is likely to bring the ritualistic question to a focus, as there can be no appeal for the present, at least from his decision, and clergymen refusing to conform to it will make themselves liable to Episcopal oe nsure or de position from the ministry.

Among those present in the faro room were several prominent citixena.

Ceaasnaaieatlea Ceaeeralag a Cer-lala BakMcrialiea. OlLt's Cab Works, Colombo, Dae. ST, 1370. To th. Editor of th. Ohio S tatesman i - In your issue of Saturday, the 24th inst , some one desires information con cerning the dispoeal of certain funda col. lected at these works for the relief of Mrs. Henry Fry, widow of Henry Fry, deceased, formerly an attache of these works. In. reply I would aay that the subscription was started on the 21st day of October, 1870, and taken through the shop in whioh Fry was formerly employed, and the men ia thia ahop pretty generally aubacribed the value of a day'a work. Going from thia to the next shop, the person who was taking the subscription (paper around asked au uncle of the deceased what amonnt he woold give, and received the reply that "she (the widow) waa not needy, and if she were, her relatives were able and willinx to care for her." This, coming from a relative,' caused us to drop the subscription at once, and to conclude not to prosecute it any farther until we had ascertained beyond a donbt that she was really deserving. Of thia we satisfied ourselves, but it made it necessary to let-it lay over for one month, as we pay bat once a month. The next time the paper waa taken aronnd was on the 21st of November, just one month after, bnt the influence exerted by thu unolt caused the subscriptions to grow very small, a great many men refusing to subscribe altogether, and instead of there being ons hundred and twenty subscribers, as your communication states, there are but sev enty one on the list, their subscriptions ranging from 25 cents to $4 each, but one man. the foreman oi tne anop in wnicn the deceased had worked, subscribing 14. twenty-four subscribed $1.00, twenty-four subscribed 50 cents, and ten men aubacribed ilo cents each, max log a total ot voj.ou. Bui wnne tnis aubscribtion was laying over from the 21st of October to the 21st of November, a number of men who had subscribed were discharged and their subscriptions could not be collected, aa none of the others had at that time been collected, and in this, a falling on from the total footing of the list amounting to $5.75 was caused, which deduction from $63 00 leaves $57.75 the actual amount col lected ; the balance, making the whole amonnt paid her $60.00, waa made np by the undersigned, for which I hold Mrs. Fry's individual receipt, and the bank check, made payable to her order for the fall amount ($60.00), was cashed at the First National Bank of this city. We were at that time employing about two hundred and twenty-five men, and it was, to draw it mildly, quite a task to deduct the subscriptions from the amonnt coming to the men who bad subscribed, so many objecting, and after going to all this trouble, to be censured as 1 have been is not very agreeable. Any further information will be cheer fully rendered at the office. . UIU. iJLADI BROAD STREET BRIDGE. Bepert mt the Exaaalaiaa Ceasasitte. mm the Caarfiliaa mt the Bread Mtreet Bridge. Columbus, Ohio, December 37, ls70. Col. Jouji A. Blaib, Engineer national Koaa : As requested by you, we have made an examination of the National road bridge, crossing the Scioto river at this place, and fiud its condition in all respects quite aa good as we had reason to expect. It was built of the best quality of lumber and well put together. We examined the p rts most exposed to decay, and fonnd them all perfectly sound and free from rot or decomposition of any kind. It is to be expected, however, that the timber has lost some of its original strength and elasticity. In the thirty- five years during which it has, occupied its present position, every part of the structure has settled down to a firm bearing, and can probably go no farther until some of the timbers give way. The bottom chords of the bridge are composed (three in number) of four pieces, each of yellow pine 44 by 12 inches, secured to lattice work. Oue of these pieces in the South chord of the east span is broken, also one piece in the middle chord. Both seem to have been broken for some time. this defect may be remedied and render those points aa strong as the other parts, by pntting ad- uitionai pieces iu me, cnora properly secured : and we would advise that each of the cbords in both spans of the bridge be strengthened in the middle by such additional timber about sixty-five feet in length. This being properly done, we see no reason why the bridge will not be as safe for nse as it has been for the last five years. vary retpactruiiy, S. Meubbit. - - Gso. H. Yaoox. " rilB Dl.KCE OF BLOOD " From th. Boston Post ) The Morton resolution passed the Sen ate at last, bat it has torn through the party framework - damagingly. For onr own part, we have from the first ad vocated either the outright purchase or perpetual lease of the Bay of Samana, as a necessary naval station in West Indian waters ; bnt the reprehensible and extra ordinary coarse adopted by President Grant to secure San Domingo, throuch the manipulations of an- agent unknown to the Executive prerogative, and by methods that are covered all over with suspicions stains, we have never hesitated to condemn as roundly a it deserves. Thwarted in this first attempt to accomplish bis end, the President baa cooked np this Commission, whoso character and objects, as has been developed, Mr. Samner has so Unhesitatingly ex posed. The debate over iti passage was a disgrace to the body in which it occurred. It reveals a state ot things in the governing party that will startle the country. The vindictive jealonsy of Sumner drives at the President, and as sails Morton for having dared to be closeted with him in the Executive mansion. Yet it comes out that this same lof iy Aria- tides, whose affectation or political parity is so ostentations, has himself proposed to the President to log-roll with him over Impeachment Ashley, and that be ia now only taking hia revenge for the President's refusal. Morton flies at Sumner's throat as the President's friend. and gratuitously insult the memory of deeeased patriots who tilled the Executive chair in defense of hia master. We challenge the comparison he provokes. Grant by the side of Pierce or Bacbanan as President, measures pitifully, small, whatever the standard need. Ths whole disclosure is an outrage on publio sentiment. Such a Senate I Snob an Administration ! ' A President with a cordon of military offioers around him threatening the personal chastisement of a Senator ins aid-de-camp (an omocr unknown to his constitutional office) re peating the violent langnage of hia chief ami save in nis talent ior vmaictive-ness pledging himself to foreign parties to influence the votes of Senators lobbying on ths floor of Congress maintaining military state in the Executive mansion think of the sycophantio phari- saism, like Morton's, that compares suoh an Individual with ths able, upright, experienced and dignified statemen who have ailed that omce before him! jn either a President like Grant, nor a Senator like Samner, ia capable of leading thia country and guiding its great fortunes. Arrogance and" egotism are equally balanoed by dnll ignorance and atudioua hatred. Sumner's inspiration is slavery and tbe slave trade ; Grant's strength is presents and punishment. The quarrel between two such men, each assuming to be at the head of the Government, has now broken out in its fall violence ; and It discovers such a mine of jealousy, corruption, arrogance, selfishness, littleness, and all kindred qualities, that th country may well stand appalled at the revelation. Tbe scene in the Senate make on tremble for the fate oi hia country, when it affaire are, at a critical transition period, ia auch inefficient, incapable and dangerous hands. No political party oould long cohere that ia the sport of elements ao antagonistic, malicious, selfish, and unre strained by any senae of responsibility : and no Republican Government could long exist nnder the infliction of such a party 'a reckless domination. Tbere is now a continuous line of railroad in operation from Norfolk to Bristol, Va , and thence, via Knoxville, connecting with the Sonthern and Tennessee system of roads. Tbs Tirgini Legislature consolidated this' lino with that which proposed to connect, via Cumberland Gap, with the Kentucky roada the whole to be known as the Atlantic, Mississippi, and Ohio Railroad Company. The low grades of this line and the prospect of a very early completion of the remaining portion, have awakened great expectation of a rich tide of commerce from the great West to the cities of Petersburg and Norfolk. - There has been Y 'J"' .."t3";Ls """T much anxiety that Kichmond should par- aoeordingly a bill has just been paased in the Virginia Legislature authorizing a direct connection with the main road. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad is expected te begin operation from Richmond to Guyandotte about the lat of July, 1872, and in less than two years from to-day Virginia, like New York, will have two great trunk lines connecting her ports with the Mississippi Valley. Prop. Smith, who recently contributed a valuable paper to tbe Baltimore Sun on the treatment of hydrophobia, wrote a letter to the sam journal a few daya ago, in which he declares himself out of patience with those who are superstitions enoogh to believe that there ia any virtue whatever in the mad-dog stone possessed by a resident of Reotortown, Fauquier county, Va. "Thia atone," aaya the Profeseer, "ia probably of a elate or chalky nature, and porous. When dry, it will adhere to a moist part, aa auch a substance willJo the tongue, and fall off when saturated with moisture. That it baa an affinity for tbe poison of ths rabid animal is too ridiculous to merit aerioua discussion. The evil resulting from belief in remedies so absurd is that it prevents the use of efficient means." ' Beet-root sugar, . manufactured in California, has jast been offered for sale on ths markets of San Francisco, and two hundred and fifty . barrels were disposed of at thirteen and a half cents per nonnd.

The fiber and refuse are fed to two hundred cattle kept on the premises of the factory. The bulk of the cane sugar eonsnmed in California ia imported From the Sandwich Islands, Manilla and rem.

Mr. Charles Allen Perkins, Assist ant Secretary of the American Legation in Portugal, waa married on the 12th of November, at Lisbon, to Princess Dona Maria Isabel Francisco de Bourbony Bourbon, daughter of the Infanta of Spain.
